What's New on Netflix Canada – February 2018 Published By Marriska Fernandes on Feb 01, 2018

With the coldest month of the year and flu season arriving to take over your life, what better reason do you need to stay inside and binge on some of Netflix's top picks? This month there's a wide selection of exciting new original series and films, whether you're a superhero fan or a thriller buff.

There's also a selection of some of our favorite flicks, ranging from romantic comedies for Valentine's Day to Oscar favorites. Bae or no bae, you got this.

Original SeriesIf you have a thing for the superhero shows that Netflix has been pumping out religiously (hint: Marvel's The Punisher), you'll enjoy their new original Black Lightning Season 1 (Feb. 6), which streams every Tuesday. You can also binge on a sci-fi original series that takes you into the future with Altered Carbon (Feb. 2).

An Emmy-winning show that returns with new faces is Queer Eye (Feb. 7). An original I can't wait to binge on is the new series Seven Seconds (Feb. 23) by creator Veena Sud. She is the brain behinds the popular Netflix original The Killing. Seven Seconds follows what happens after a white cop accidentally runs into a black teenager in Jersey City with his car, killing him. The series explores the attempted cover up and its aftermath, leading to a highly publicized trial.

Original FilmsFebruary takes no prisoners and invites emotions that mess with our hearts. Irreplaceable You (Feb. 16) is a comedy that follows the love story of Abbie and Sam, who have been best friends since childhood and were recently engaged. When Abbie is diagnosed with cancer, she sets out on a humorous mission to find a new love for Sam. Kleenex calling.

If that's not your cup of tea-rs, how about some plain ol' rom-com? When We First Met (Feb. 9), starring Adam Devine and Alexandra Daddario, tells the story of Noah, who regrets wasting a perfect night with Avery and ends up in the friend zone. Using a magical photo booth, he goes back in time to re-do the night over and over again.

If your dark, twisted soul can't handle the sappiness, then I'd be happy to recommend the horror movie The Ritual (Feb. 9), which follows a group of college friends who reunite for a trip to the forest, but encounter a menacing presence that stalks them.

In the near future in Berlin, a mute man (Alexander Skarsgård) has to battle shady people in order to search for his missing girlfriend in Mute (Feb. 23).

Bae or No BaeNeed dating tips or at least want to watch someone else try to date again? In How to Be Single, Robin (Rebel Wilson) takes recently single Alice (Dakota Johnson) under her wing to teach her just how to be single in New York City. It's time to bae-watch as Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron bring their comedy chops (and abs) to the big-screen version of Baywatch. A rom-com to melt hearts is About Time (Feb. 1), in which Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) travels back in time to win the girl of his dreams.

Oscar-nominated Django Unchained tells the story of a slave (Jamie Foxx) who is rescued by Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a man working as an undercover bounty hunter. Together, they team up to rescue Django's wife.

Thrills and ChillsHow about thrills and chills this February with some pretty intense, but supremely entertaining flicks? The latest superhero film to hit Netflix is Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which pits Bruce Wayne's Batman (Ben Affleck) against Clark Kent's Superman (Henry Cavill).
